By contrast, HP's Color Recovery technology also processes the data on the backend, turning the dithering back into an approximation of the original color information. It was only found on the 715's HCRX and the 712's integrated graphics.

How to do this in IRIX 6.2 or 6.5?

Depending on what your Indy can actually do, it would probably be some variant of this:
